Amy May Ellis

‘We Got Fire’ is Amy’s second release. The songs, recorded with her band mainly in a Farmhouse in North Yorkshire, seem to have come from a place of restlessness and frustration. The dynamic between the full band and solo sound create a space to be engaged with and Amy’s lyrics are a poignant call for movement and kindness.
Amy May Ellis grew up in the middle of the North Yorkshire Moors. It was here that she played her first gigs at The Bandroom in Farndale. Host to artists from around the world she found these gigs to be hugely influential. She would sit and soak up their music, watching how they captured and silenced the room.
At the age of 16 she moved to York where she earned a reputation for her captivating and moving performances. Now based in London Amy has received support from BBC introducing, BBC 6 Music and Rough Trade for her debut EP, “Weathered By Waves” recorded in York at Crooked Room Studio, together with a local group of talented friends and musicians.
Amy has played headline show’s around the UK, Ireland and Europe as well as guesting for artists such as Michael Chapman, Rozi Plain, Alessi’s Ark, Jackie Oates, Hiss Golden Messenger, Tiny Ruins, Ryley Walker and Willy Mason.
